Using diverse data sources, it characterizes poverty and household welfare, and identifies constraints and opportunities for reducing poverty. It documents COVID-19’s increase in poverty alongside earlier gains in non-monetary welfare indicators and presents evidence linking education, jobs, and labor market gender disparities, including agricultural vulnerability to climate volatility.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nSecuring a Robust and Inclusive  \nRecovery  \nThe Gambia Poverty and Gender Assessment 2022  \nWorld Bank Poverty Team, June 2022  \n© 2022 The World Bank  \n1818 H Street NW, Washington DC 20433 Telephone: 202-473-1000; [Internet:](Internet: www.worldbank.org)[ ](Internet: www.worldbank.org)[www.worldbank.org](Internet: www.worldbank.org)  \n[Some rights reserved.](Some rights reserved.)  \nThis work is a product of the staff of The World Bank.
